Hiya, I talked to the OpenOffice.org Linux/Sparc porter (sparcmoz on freenode) and he pointed me to some patches needed for a successfull build of OOo which also fix a compile error that I got. 10:23 < sparcmoz> bazik: good luck with the build, you will need some other patches for 1.1.1, standby for the details 10:25 < sparcmoz> bazik: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26278 10:25 < sparcmoz> bazik: those patches did not make it into the final, they are needed to use java 10:26 < sparcmoz> bazik: also i had to build --with-system-zlib to avoid crashing in autopilot-->report 10:27 < sparcmoz> bazik: if you enable mozilla you will need some zip files, do you know about that? 10:29 < sparcmoz> bazik: see the fiels in moz/zipped. you need to build mozilla 1.0 from source and extract files such as those 10:30 < sparcmoz> bazik: you can just copy what others have done or email me and i can upload some for you 10:31 < sparcmoz> bazik: else you need configure to build disable-mozilla for now 10:31 < sparcmoz> bazik: my email is sparcmoz@openoffice.org So this patch would need to go in the 1.1.1 ebuild if [ $ARCH = "sparc" ]: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26278 It would be nice if we can roll out an rc3 ebuild to test these patches before the final gets released. He also said that some build issues can occure when building with an 2.6 kernel. I am just trying to build a self-made rc3 ebuild with 2.4... lets see what happens :)
We have a patch that should fix building on 2.6. My 1.1.1rc1 is build on a 2.6 kernel
The build error that I got was: [...] Making: ../../unxlngs.pro/bin/mksvconf unx cat ../../unxlngs.pro/misc/mksvconf.cmd gcc -z combreloc -Wl,-export-dynamic -Wl,--noinhibit-exec -L../../unxlngs.pro/lib -L../lib -L/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.1_rc1/work/oo_1.1.1_src/solenv/unxlngs/lib -L/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.1_rc1/work/oo_1.1.1_src/solver/645/unxlngs.pro/lib -L/var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.1_rc1/work/oo_1.1.1_src/solenv/unxlngs/lib -L/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/lib -L/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc -L/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc/client -L/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc/native_threads -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o ../../unxlngs.pro/bin/mksvconf ../../unxlngs.pro/obj/solar.o \ -ldl -lpthread -lm -Wl,-Bdynamic -lstlport_gcc -lstdc++ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13978 Mar 28 21:54 ../../unxlngs.pro/bin/mksvconf ------------- ../../unxlngs.pro/bin/mksvconf ../../unxlngs.pro/inc/svconf.h char = signed char short = signed short int = signed int long = signed long sizeof(char) = 1 sizeof(short) = 2 sizeof(int) = 4 sizeof(long) = 4 sizeof(float) = 4 sizeof(double) = 8 sizeof(void *) = 4 BIGENDIAN (Sparc, MC680x0, RS6000, IP22, IP32, g3) Stack waechst nach unten STACKALIGNMENT : 1 Bus error dmake: Error code 138, while making '../../unxlngs.pro/inc/svconf.h' ---* TG_SLO.MK *--- ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.1_rc1/work/oo_1.1.1_src/tools/source/solar !!!

I am currently trying to build it on wesolows' E4500 with 2.4.x... The bug report that sparcmoz pointed me too was http://porting.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=12745 which happens for ppc and got fixed by our nptl.patch ... doesnt seem to fix it for sparc tho.
>> We have a patch that should fix building on 2.6. >> My 1.1.1rc1 is build on a 2.6 kernel Is this on sparc?
No, only on x86. I guess you allready have the most recent compiler and a kernel patched for sparc. If not maybe trying with them helps. btw. Any idea why on sparcs there are bus errors instead of segmentation faults.

So I'd like to have them in *our* 1.1.1 final. >> btw. Any idea why on sparcs there are bus errors instead of segmentation faults. We also get segfaults sometimes ;)

All of these find sparc patches and more coming soon to a portage mirror near you! :)
